I am so sorry to hear this. There are no words. May the Lord watch over all of you during this time.
My Aunt, Mary Nell Wilson was the most loving, caring, considerate, giving of herself, Godly woman I have ever known. I have known her all of my 80 years and it has been an honor to have had her in my life. She was such an inspiration to myself and all who knew her. She and her past husband, Lindy, were the perfect example of how a husband and wife should be. Their devotion and care of one another would touch your heart just watching them. Mary was a registered nurse whose love and true concern for those in her care was heart touching. It was “just who she was”. Later in her life she could still play the piano like a teenager and she knew “all the words” to each song. She had such a deep love for those in her family, her friends, and her church.
She will be greatly missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have known her. May everyone in her family know how very much we loved her and you all will be in our prayers.
With Much Love,
Bill and Beverly Miller Brady
